LEMON DELIGHTS

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
Zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1-1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Add egg and lemon extract.
Mix in salt, baking powder, lemon zest and flour until combined. Use a small ice cream scoop to shape cookies and place on 2 greased foil lined baking sheets. Bake about 15 minutes, just until light golden brown. Leave on sheet and sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm. Cool completely and decorate with icing.

ICING:

1 cup powdered sugar
1 - 1-1/2 tablespoons lemon juice

Mix together powdered sugar, lemon juice and food coloring until smooth. Add more lemon juice if necessary to achieve a drizzling consistency that's not too thin. Place in a squeeze bottle and drizzle icing over each cookie in a concentric circle. Let dry completely before storing. Makes about 3-1/2 dozen cookies. Keep for about a week.
